That'll be $2.... What! They don't make a $2 bill... do they?


In today's news a man was arrested by trying to pay his bill at best buy with $2 bills. You can read the article here. Apparently, the guy was protesting getting charged $114 for a car stereo installation.

He's a tour bus operator and has a lot of $2 bills laying around. But when he handed them to the cashier she thought the money was fake and called the police. The police noticed the bills' serial numbers were in sequential order and cuffed the guy to a pole while they tried to figure out if the bills were real.

Sure, $2 bills aren't common anymore but this is just silly.
Stupid people doing stupid things, never tomland approved.

But you fail to say if they were counterfit or not?

If you read the original article you'll see they are not counterfit.

The point of the article was that (in this case) trying to pay using legal tender caused all sorts of problems. Granted, $2 bills are not very common but that's not the guys fault.
